Keepin' Your Bubbles! Music and good friends ......
.......... help me keep mine, What helps you keep yours? Do you see the silver lining when it starts to storm?It is just pouring here on the Central Coast of California. It rained most of the night and it calls for rain most of this week. We all knew the rain was coming. Prepared or not, we must push on into the storm! I looked up this morning for you how and where the term about silver linings around clouds came from. Here is what I found:
The following is from: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia online: look up silver lining there and this is what you will find:
A silver lining is a metaphor for optimism in the common English-language idiom "Every cloud has a silver lining."
Wikipedia has the phrase traced to John Milton's 1634 'Comus' with the following:"Was I deceiv'd, or did a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night?"
In relation to the real world, the term Wikipedia traced it to cloud seeding and the use of; "silver iodide as cloud condensation, which has led to the ironic use of the expression "every cloud has a silver lining" within that industry."Turn forth her silver lining on the night?"
I thought this was very interesting because one of my favorite songs right now is by Lady Antebellum "one day you will." (Look it up on youtube! It is a great song!) It lifts my spirits and reminds me that every heartache makes me stronger. It even says that every cloud has a silver lining! Check it out! The song is very encouraging and helps me get through the day. I like to know where these terms we use come from. Thanks Wikipedia and Thanks Lady Antebellum fro such a great song!!
Lately I have found that I need my music more and more. I have also found great comfort in my friends! Sometimes you need a little extra hope and strength to keep going. Whatever it takes to help you push through your personal storm, hold true to it. Sometimes it takes an old friend to help us realizes that we are not keeping true to all we could be and that we are not getting all we deserve out of this life. To those that are helping my "get my bubbles back," a BIG thank you! You know who you are! I look forward to Keepin' it bubbly now more than ever! Make sure you keep your bubbles too!! Stay warm in the storm, xox Jeri
